there are no legalised monopolies – no protecting duties – trade is free as the winds of heaven, her revenue scarcely amounts to four shillings a year to each of her population, while the taxes, direct and indirect, amount to nearly as many pounds. Switzerland has no National Debt – no bloated, tithe-gorging, state church; – she prosecutes no wars but those of self defence and in these the spirit of her noble Tell has been exhibited to the preservation of her unimpaired liberty for five hundred years. Her population mingle the peaceful pursuits of agriculture and manufacture in their mountain-homes, while the sweet stream of plenty rolls down her sequestered vales, diffusing health, morality, content and gladsomeness round the Swiss cottagerapos;s fireside: – what a contrast to Coventry-Bastille Murders! Aye, and all this without a Queen! – because the sovereign people maintain their legitimate ascendancy in the Swiss government.
